Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that here at ADG, an experienced management consultancy based in Lancashire, we are launching our new suite of Coaching Programmes.

These programmes have been piloted over the past 12 months at Unilever UK and have made a difference to the empowerment of the people and the behaviour of leaders in the organisation.

As a Chartered Management Centre we are able to provide accreditation for the programmes.

If you are a leader looking to develop your skills then developing coaching as part of your leadership style can really improve your influencing ability. If you want to use coaching as part of a change process then these programmes can give you the tools to get started.

Investing in coaching is a good use of your time and money, as this is one skill that can, and will, spread the more you use it.

See our website at www.adgroup.co.uk for course leaflets, dates and prices, and information on the other opportunities
we support performance improvement in your organisation.

Can you or your business relate to any of these statements?

o Businesses are demanding greater efficiency, increased value for money, shareholder confidence and customer satisfaction………….

o In today’s world customers have less money to spend and want more for their money. Do all employees understand how the business works and what differentiates you from the crowd?

o Not all staff see the big picture, think outside the box and pull in the same direction; impacting your competitive advantage.

To address these issues it is not enough to just tell people to do it. If you want people to learn how to run a business, you need to provide them with a business they can practice with.

Business Simulations provide the solution that will give your business the edge, by replicating the day to day challenges – in a safe, learning environment. Participants experience deep, enduring learning and real empathy with the challenges of running a successful business.

With the current financial climate the way it is and the worries that people are having with regards to job security, it is no wonder that stress levels are at an all time high.

Dear Colleague

Is the phrase "if only I had time... " one of the most used sayings, either by yourself or by people across your business?

Do you never seem to get to those projects that would actually make all the difference?

If this is the case for you, then we can help. Attend our FREE How to Take Control of Your Time Preview tele-seminar and we will help you to find practical ways to take control in just one hour.

The session will cover an overview of the key areas of Preparation and Planning, and will give you a realistic set of tools to increase your productivity. Including how you can easily gain 35 minutes more time each day! - and all this for free!

Content for the session is taken from our intensive two-day Taking Control of your Time session; which highlights key ways to take control and become more effective and productive - a key requirement in today's business environment.

Why not call it Time Management?
The term Time Management is misleading - it is not possible to manage time, as time is a constant - 60 seconds to each minute and 6o minutes to each hour - what we should concentrate on is taking control of how we use time and how we make that use as productive as possible.

These FREE sessions will take place on Monday December 2nd at 9am, 4pm and 10pm GMT. To join a FREE tele-seminar, email your name, the session you would like to join and your email address to bookings@freshlearning.co.uk and we will send you joining information.

What every business owner and customer account manager
needs to know in the current trading environment……

HOW TO NEGOTIATE THE DEAL YOU WANT

ONE DAY SALES MASTERCLASS

Wednesday 3rd December, Nottingham

Recently have you or your team found yourself saying things like:

“They want cash up front and I don’t want to lose the business so I have no option but to give in to them”

“They are demanding better terms and because our competitors are giving in to them we will need to do the same just to stand still”

But…it doesn’t have to be that way…

There is a way to negotiate your prices on your terms without losing your customers to your competitors and all be revealed on December 3rd.

Here are just a few of the things we’ll be covering on the day:

⇒ The no.1 secret to successful negotiation.

⇒ How to get ‘inside the head of the customer’ and why this really matters.

⇒ How to manage stress and pressure in a negotiation …effortlessly.

At the end of just one day, you’ll walk away with a complete toolkit to ensure you negotiate the deal on your terms and still keep the customer on your books.

Places on this one off event will be strictly limited so to guarantee your place for the special price of £229 + VAT call free on 0800 043 6073

Note: We are convinced that you will get huge value out of this event. So much so that, if you don’t, we will give you a full 100% refund of your fee..guaranteed!

Do you ever wish that you could assess your students' understanding of subject matter after they've left the classroom, and have gone back to their offices too far away to visit?

I have developed an online multiple choice quiz programme (MQuiz). The entire system runs through a browser, and allows the tutor/manager to set up and run mutiple choice quizzes on the internet. The student logs on, takes the test, is informed how he or she did, and then logs off. The results are stored on a database which can then be viewed by the manager. They can be sorted by name, department, who failed and who passed, and you can even see which questions are least well understood.

I can set this up to run with your logo, appearing to run through your URL within a very short timescale. Alternatively, you can buy the whole MQuiz code and database to run yourself.

You can try it out, and see its management reporting functionality by going to http://www.petercollett.com/quiz.

If you're interested, I'm on 07870 219624 or at peter@petercollett.com

Step up performance through the power of Coaching Conversations - a practical tool for managers

A unique opportunity to experience this practical programme - starting 30th September 2008.

We are delighted to be able to offer you a unique opportunity to experience Coaching Conversations in a showcase event. We have a limited number of places available at a special showcase rate of £ 500 (normal delegate rate for an open programme would be £ 1600).

Coaching Conversations is an intensive, modular blended learning programme designed to overcome these and other barriers to harnessing the immense power of coaching as a management tool. It is grounded in the reality of getting things done through others with limited time available. Come and taste it for yourself.

For more details please contact Sara Rowe - srowe@recruit2retain.com or call her on 07973 963406.

We are looking for 4 or 5 potential joint venture partners who want to grow their businesses.

We are hoping that the venture will provide everyone with opportunities for expansion.

We are The Institute For Business Technology UK (IBT). We are a mature organisation (23 years) and we have provided a range of training and coaching services to mostly FTSE 250 companies.

I do not know the size and remit of your company, but I believe we can be of most benefit to smaller or highly specialised outfits, or single practitioners – all with a client base that would benefit from additional service offerings.

I want to make it clear from the outset that we do not want to interfere in any way in your client relationships. The way we see it working is that you would, of course, retain your client listings, relationships and full control of scheduling - but have the opportunity to offer them services that you might not already provide.

Would you like to be a part of something new that is revolutionizing the training world?

To ensure high standards of quality for our clients, and to guarantee an organization built on the principles of greatness, we are being very selective about whom we invite to attend the TOM Academy. We want to work with people who fit the TOM style and who feel totally comfortable with the TOM principles and models. Ask yourself the following:

Are you a creative, enthusiastic and experienced trainer or presenter? Do you live what you teach? Do your participants learn things and have a good time?

Do delegates use words like… challenging, exciting, enjoyable, different, innovative, results-focused, powerful, and life-changing…to describe your training and communication style?
Do you have experience in management and leadership training; accelerated learning; NLP; personal development facilitation; experiential learning methods; and/or multiple intelligence activities?

If you answer “yes” to most of the above - especially the accelerated and experiential learning aspect - and you are interested in delivering powerful learning events based on proven principles and content, then we ought to arrange a call to further explore the fit.

We are looking for confident, independent trainers and training organisations to become successful trainers in the TOM models, based on the book Everyone agrees with TOM! by Ross Page, TOM International’s founder.

Costs: £2495 + VAT for the most complete advanced training skills course you are ever likely to attend.
